About York House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

York House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S1 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a balcony. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. At 70 m² this is the 10th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in York House, where floor areas span 45–168 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 19 units on file. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Across 2007–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 is 21.2% above the 2021 sale price.
